[119] People are stolen and seized
After three rounds of drinking, in the middle of the night.
The officials of Yuhang County, big and small, all drank very happily, thinking that this young and promising new county magistrate would be extremely official and extremely difficult to get along with.
But after a banquet, these officials were pleasantly surprised to find that the new county magistrate not only got along very well, but also was extremely active in matters on the official road.
The officials seemed to see that in the next few years, their small days would be as brilliant as flowers.
Zhu Hongyuan's face was not very good, he kept looking out the window eagerly, worried, as if there was something that needed to be done immediately.
Li Mo looked at him and laughed secretly.
The old fox finally leaked his tail out.
The more anxious Zhu Hongyuan was, the less anxious Li Mo was. He pulled the officials and asked the long and short questions, the east and the west, the parents, and the shortcomings, and they were very happy.
The officials were also very happy. To be so close to the 'supreme ruler' of this 'Yuhang County', this kind of opportunity is not available every day. So, they cherish it doubly.
Zhu Hongyuan looked at the increasingly thick night outside the window, like an ant on a hot pot, his fists clenched tightly, fidgeting.
"Master Zhu, what's wrong?" Li Mo held his wine glass and gestured towards Zhu Hongyuan.
Zhu Hongyuan was helpless and drank a full cup again.
Li Mo looked at him, and his smile became brighter and brighter.
The night was deep, and it was silent. The entire county seat of Yuhang fell asleep, only this restaurant was still brightly lit.
Zhu Hongyuan finally couldn't sit still, he got up and arched his hand at Li Mo.
"Lord County Order, the lower official is really too drunk, I hope the adult can allow the lower official to leave early. Zhu Hongyuan said apologetically.
Li Mo stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Hongyuan's arm: "Lord Zhu is 'not authentic' like this, look at you, you are not half drunk at all, and you can't drink anything." ”
Seeing Li Mo's persuasion, the surrounding officials, big and small, echoed one after another.
Zhu Hongyuan, who had already left the seat, was forced back to the seat again. Zhu Hongyuan smiled bitterly a few times and drank several glasses of bitter wine
The night breeze is cool and the streets are empty, which makes people feel a little scary.
Xu Sheng and the old man with missing front teeth hid in a tree, carefully monitoring a small courtyard.
The courtyard is not large, four or five houses, and a small courtyard. The courtyard is located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a bamboo forest, and there are no other dwellings within a mile radius except for a slum.
In the dead of night, when everyone was immersed in sleep, this small courtyard suddenly became lively.
Countless 'warriors' are beating like ghosts, like zombies that do not change their movements.
An old Taoist priest in a brown robe, holding a wooden sword, stood in the center of the courtyard, waving his hands, as if he was directing these 'zombie' warriors.
Xu Sheng's face was a little pale, although he had been mentally prepared before coming to ambush, but when he saw these 'abnormal' 'martial artists', he almost screamed in horror.
The old man, who was missing his front teeth, smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and Xu Sheng felt a little at ease.
As time passed, these zombie warriors became more and more manic, and several zombies even let out a 'woo' roar.
The body of the brown-clothed old man gradually levitated, he looked at these almost rampaging zombies, and scolded secretly: "What is Zhu Hongyuan doing, he didn't send a 'sacrifice' at such a late hour." ”
Xu Sheng and the old man with missing front teeth covered their breath and watched quietly, they were waiting for someone.
The moon sank to the west, and the night had entered the fourth watch.
The grand banquet in Yuhang Restaurant finally dispersed. Many officials bowed their hands to Li Mo one after another, thanking the county magistrate for his hospitality today, and Li Mo was not modest and returned the salute one by one.
As soon as the banquet was over, Zhu Hongyuan didn't care about any etiquette, he was like a wild dog off the leash, galloping away.
Li Mo looked at his back and sneered secretly: Today, you won't be caught and seized?
After saying a few words to a lieutenant behind him, Li Mo changed into his armor, and the five hundred 'Fenwu Army' that had already lurked in secretly assembled, and the five hundred soldiers left in the dust.
Just when those zombie warriors were about to cross the wall and run wild, a carriage finally came late.
The brown-clothed Taoist secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
A person stepped down from the carriage, it was Zhu Hongyuan, who was full of alcohol.
He lifted the curtain of the carriage and removed a pile of things, on which blood continued to drip from them.
Xu Sheng didn't see what was in Zhu Hongyuan's hand clearly, but when he saw it clearly, he immediately 'wow' and vomited.
The old man with missing front teeth looked at him and patted him on the back while laughing.
What Zhu Hongyuan took from the carriage turned out to be the corpse of a living person! Looking at the color of the blood, it is estimated that it had just been killed.
When the zombie warriors saw the stump of the human body, they instantly fell silent, and they walked to the carriage in an orderly manner, took off the stump, and gnawed on it with relish.
When Xu Sheng saw this, he vomited even more.
The old man, who was missing his front teeth, patted him on the back and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, when I was young, the first time I saw this 'corpse raising technique', I also vomited." However, if you spit and spit out, you will get used to it. ”
The zombie warriors finished their 'meal' and silently returned to the room under the command of the brown-clothed Taoist.
The brown-clothed Taoist looked at Zhu Hongyuan and asked, "Why did you come?"
There was a hint of resentment in his tone.
"The banquet of the new county magistrate has not had time to get out, so it has been delayed. Zhu Hongyuan apologized.
"Don't take it as an example!" the brown-clothed Taoist said coldly, with a hint of unquestionable tone.
Zhu Hongyuan didn't defend anything, because he knew that even if it was an argument, it would be useless.
After cleaning up the blood on the carriage, Zhu Hongyuan prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the wind rose, and the sound of neat horses' hooves, surrounded from all sides, was deafening.
"You're a traitor!" the brown-clothed man's face instantly turned hideous. He let out a loud shout, and a black 'ghost hand' reached out from his left hand, pinching between Zhu Hongyuan's neck.
"You stay here and take the opportunity to catch Zhu Hongyuan. The old man, who was missing his front teeth, said a few words to Xu Sheng, and his figure suddenly dissipated.
The speed of the ghost hand was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of Zhu Hongyuan's neck, and Zhu Hongyuan gave up resisting, because even if it was resisting, there was no point.
He resigned himself to his fate.
At this moment, a golden sword shadow flashed, and the black ghost hand was split into two pieces.
The brown-clothed Taoist looked up and saw an old man with missing front teeth.
The brown-clothed Taoist, who was originally extremely arrogant, suddenly became extremely frightened. His mouth trembled, and his speech was somewhat indistinct.
Even so, Zhu Hongyuan, who was close at hand, still heard his words clearly.
"Three pounds of sword. ”
