The people screamed and fled in all directions, but the lively nature made them flee without forgetting to turn their heads to see the situation.

When they found that the three men in black didn't seem to have the intention of making a move on the flat-headed people, they couldn't help but slow down.

At this time, an inconspicuous male voice in the crowd said: "I really hope Zuo Cheng and they can be rescued." ”

People stop and think, yes, who is the enemy, in this case, isn't it clear. They should expect Zuo Cheng to be rescued.

While the people were making a commotion, I heard the male voice say, "Why don't we go and help." ”

This sentence is like magic, which makes the originally wavering people's heads start to heat up, and adrenaline is constantly secreted-

That's right, if Zuo Cheng can be rescued, such a good official may be able to benefit everyone in the future.

And if these stinky officers and soldiers are allowed to take Zuo Cheng's family away, in the current situation, it is a question whether Zuo Cheng's family can go to the penal colony alive.

Thinking of this, the scattered footsteps of the people turned one hundred and eighty degrees in place, and they all ran towards the courtyard where the black-clothed man and Xu Jiaotou were fighting.

In the crowd, Xia Qingyang hid his smile under the hat, and guided him step by step through words, hinting at how the people could unite and act.

Xu Jiaotou never expected that the biggest threat to him was not the three black-clothed men with strong martial arts, but the ordinary people who suddenly rushed up like a fish.

Some of these people were bare-handed, some carried wooden sticks picked by the roadside, and some rushed up with pots and pans from unknown shops.

The key is that they are still shouting words such as "protect Yin Zuocheng" and "let's also help the official".

What was done was a human wall in front of the officers and soldiers, allowing those black-clothed people to successfully rescue Yin Zuocheng.

Xu Jiaotou was about to go crazy.

When this chaos subsided, Xu Jiaotou grabbed Fan Xi's collar and asked him to quickly send someone to track down the traces of the three black-clothed people, and at the same time arrest the people who were in the way just now.

"This ......" Fan Xi hesitated.

"What are you doing? Hindering the work of officials and causing the felons of the court to flee, it is not an exaggeration to cut off the heads of these people! ”

Xu Jiaotou said, his eyes swept over the crowd fiercely, and he saw that the hearts of the people were tight, and he immediately wanted to slip away.

Where would Xu Jiaotou allow them to escape? scolded the officials who had just arrived and surrounded all the people around.

"Xu Jiaotou, it's not right. These people rushed up with good intentions, but they did something wrong, how can you say that they will be caught. Ren Yi suddenly spoke at this time, blocking between Xu Jiaotou and Fan Xi.

Xu Jiaotou's eyes narrowed: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, this matter has nothing to do with you. We will come back to the issue of food later. At the moment, the arrest of a felony in the imperial court is the most important thing, and it needs to be decided quickly by the city lord of Fan. ”

"It's a joke. At any time, it is the first priority to ensure that the people can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Why doesn't it matter if our grain is stolen? ”

Seeing what Sect Leader Xu was going to say, Ren Yi raised his hand, "But you are right about one thing, this matter should be decided by City Lord Fan." City Lord Fan, you say, should these well-intentioned people who risked their lives to help be arrested and taken to the Yamen? ”

Fan Xi looked left and right, one was the head of the forbidden army in the capital that he couldn't afford to offend, and the other was the eldest princess of the dynasty who he couldn't afford to offend-

One of these two is in control of his career, and the other is in charge of his wife's life.

Fan Xi gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "Don't surround here, hurry up and catch the man in black!" ”

The officials were stunned for a moment, immediately said yes, and then left.

The people immediately cheered.

And in the middle of the courtyard, Xu Jiaotou's face turned black into pig liver: "Okay, well, City Lord Fan, you don't take the robbery of the court as a repeat offender." Can't you see that it was all premeditated! Maybe from the grain being planted to me, to being robbed just now, all of this was calculated by someone! ”

Fan Xi hung his head and didn't look at him.

Ren Yi didn't answer.

On the contrary, the people, because they saw that Xu Jiaotou couldn't move them, suddenly became bolder, and almost drowned Xu Jiaotou with a mouthful of spit:

"We didn't tell anyone, everyone copied something from the side."

"Yes. If you can't stop the bad guys, forget it, and you want to frame us who are kind enough to help. ”

"With the grain tax paid every year, why do you raise such a bunch of rice buckets?"

"I really take myself seriously, and I also commanded the city lord to come, do you see the city lord listening to you."

Xu Jiaotou picked up the knife and was a little angry: "Who is talking?" Give it all to me! ”

Silent.

"No one wants such an accident." Ren Yi saw that the people were almost forced, and if they were forced again, they should jump off the wall, so his tone softened, and he said, "It is not easy for Xu Jiaotou to sleep in the open along the way, and to work hard to escort the exile team. Fang Cai was a little anxious because of the food, so I had a few arguments with Xu Jiaotou. Now that I think about it, I am doing things for the imperial court, and I shouldn't have disputes over these things of tongue. ”

The muscles on Xu Jiaotou's cheeks twitched slightly, and he seemed to be a little disdainful of Ren Yi's change of attitude at this time.

Ren Yiquan didn't see it, and said lightly: "No matter what, the grain has been found, and the burned and lost part cannot be recovered, so I will take someone to count the amount of surplus grain first-since it is promised to distribute the grain to the people, even if we take out the part we eat ourselves on the way back and fill it in, we must follow the agreement and send the grain to everyone according to the number, please rest assured." ”

The first half of the sentence was for Xu Jiaotou and Fan Xi, and the implication was that if Xu Jiaotou did not admit that they stole the grain, then forget it, and he would not pursue it again.

The rest is for the people—

These ordinary people have been staying here and watching why, don't they just want to hear Ren Yi talk about what to do about the distribution of food.

At this time, it can be regarded as a guarantee, and everyone is even more ecstatic, and people keep shouting thank you to the eldest princess, long live the eldest princess and so on.

Outside the crowd, Xia Qingyang retreated and hid into the alley.

In order to blend in with the crowd just now, she specially changed into an inconspicuous outfit, and the hat was also changed into the kind of homemade sunhat that the people often wear. Sure enough, it managed to bring a few waves of rhythm, and it didn't arouse suspicion-

Xu Jiaotou's suspicion was nothing at all. Because there's no way he's going to catch the evidence. Besides, he is still at a loss because of the food matter, and he doesn't dare to come to Ren Yi's trouble.
