Yan Xing glanced at his wife helplessly and said, "Instead of having time to complain here, why don't you hurry into the village and dress up, and it's okay to disguise yourself as an ordinary farmer." Even if those people have our portraits, it is difficult to distinguish them for a while. By the way, just a few tenants...... You can't betray us, can you? ”

Yan Xing didn't know that the few people he saw just now had all died in Huangquan at this time, and they had become a lonely ghost underground.

Before he could explain to him, Rokuro just asked, "How long will it take for the pursuers to arrive?" ”

Yan Xing replied, "Soon." ”

He Mai looked at Liulang, and Liulang looked at Zhong Xiangsi again.

In the end, the eyes of the three people fell on Yan Xing's body in unison.

Yan Xing was confused by the gazes of the three people, and some of the second monks couldn't figure it out.

"What are you looking at me like that?" He asked confusedly.

"Dad, I'm afraid you have to be wronged." He Mai said softly.

Yan Xing was right, after their group had just re-entered the courtyard, it didn't take long for the pursuers to arrive.

There were more than 100 people in the chasing army, looking at the black pressed soldiers, He Mai secretly smacked his tongue, thinking that if Yan Xing hadn't found out, the four of them would have collided with the pursuers in the same face, and I am afraid that there would be a vicious battle.

By the time the pursuers entered the village, the sky was already white.

In the small courtyards in the center of the village, curling smoke has risen.

The leader of the pursuers was a big fat man with a full beard and a pair of slitted triangular eyes, looking inside and outside the village.

Bring me all the people to the venue here. The fat man ordered.

With a wave of two fingers, the soldiers behind him had already entered the four courtyards.

A group of women who were cooking and children sleeping in the back room were awakened by the vicious sound of the soldiers, and their eyes widened in fright, and they were pushed out of the house.

Not long after, a group of people, including Hemai Liulang and Zhong Xiangsi, were all brought to the venue in front of the fat man.

More than 100 officers and soldiers surrounded the whole village of less than 20 people, and the fat man's eyes kept scanning the bodies and faces of these people.

Most of the people in the village are women, and there is only one man in Rokuro.

The fat man frowned, "Only one man?" ”

The woman with a black cloth scarf on her head smiled flatteringly, and said: "This is the only adult man, the rest are small bean sprouts, my son is only eight years old, and he hasn't grown up yet, Master Jun, are you just here to catch the strong men?" ”

The fat man waved his hand impatiently, "What kind of strong man to catch!?" I'm looking for someone! ”

He took out the portrait of the wanted man from his bosom, shook his hands, unfolded it, and asked sharply, "Have you ever seen these people?" ”

More than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the portrait in her hand, including Hemai Liulang and Zhong Xiangsi.

He Mai looked at himself calmly on the portrait, and secretly slandered himself in his heart, painting a young woman with a dull expression and tangled facial features, which really didn't look like himself.

He Mai shook his head with a group of women, and said in unison, "I haven't seen it." ”

The fat man sneered, "Haven't seen it yet? What about the next one? ”

He took out three more portraits from his arms one after another, among which the portraits on them were those of Liulang Zhong Acacia and Yan Xing.

The women shook their heads in unison, and the children in their arms were biting their fingers and shaking their heads along with their mothers.

The fat man's brow furrowed, obviously, such an outcome was not what he expected.

He squinted his eyes and threatened fiercely: "If I know that some of you here are lying, then tomorrow I will peel someone and hang them on the bamboo pole at the entrance of the village!" Watch him be roasted by the fire and dried alive! ”

This method of threatening is simple and crude, and it is not effective for adults, but it still works for some children.

The fat man slowly walked towards a little girl, with a threatening smile on his face, squinted his eyes and asked, "Say!" Have you ever seen the person in the portrait? ”

The little girl began to cry in her mother's arms. His expression was clearly filled with fear and fear.

The little girl involuntarily looked in the direction of Hemai, and began to hesitate whether to identify someone who was somewhat similar to the portrait.

The little girl's mother was the woman who knelt down for He Mai just now, and at this time she hurriedly held her daughter's hand and hurriedly said: "Master Jun said that it is difficult for anyone to pass through our village, these people seem to be very easy to identify, if we have seen it, where can anyone dare to lie?" ”

But the fat man was not a foolish man, and he squinted at the woman, and asked, "Who are you?" What is your surname and where does your family live? What does it do? ”

The women replied one by one, saying that her name was Li Feng, and she was a person from Zhaoyuan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she took her young daughter here to make a living by mending clothes.

The fat man's swishing eyes fell on Li Feng's body, and said, "Since you said that you only depend on your daughter in this village, who do you live with?" I saw that there were only four courtyards in the village, how did so many of you live together and how did you get to know each other? ”

Li Fengyu said with a smile: "Master Jun said that he laughed, we are all hard-working women, and our husbands unfortunately died, so we got together, because of various coincidences, we became sisters, and this house was rented to us by the owner." We gave him a hundred copper coins a month and asked him to rent this house to us, and we farmed and cooked here to raise our children, and we just wanted to have a good stomach. ”

The fat man sneered and said, "I don't think you are from here, if you are a resident here, how can you be disgraced?" I see that your hands have not been washed for ten days and half a month, and you child is also dirty, like a beggar, since you say that you are from this village, you might as well identify the rest of these people for me, if you can call them by name, I will believe that you are from this village. If not—"

The fat man let out a few sneers in his throat, which made people feel creepy.

Li Feng's face did not change, so he followed what the fat man said, and wanted to identify their names one by one.

Naturally, she didn't have anything to worry about, she had been locked up in the cellar with those women for seven or eight days, and she had already known each other, and her names were naturally known.

Saying the name is naturally not a difficult problem.

Who knew that the fat man stopped Li Feng, turned to a grim smile, turned his head and ordered the soldiers: "Let them write down everyone's name, and then see if what this woman said is right." ”

He Mai was horrified in his heart, thinking that this fat man was really cunning and suspicious, and he would use such a method to test whether they knew each other well, which was too cautious.
