People in a desperate situation always have unparalleled strength, in Yang Liu's instigation to eat mutton, the Liukou finally laid down Lanzhou City at dawn the next day, the footsteps of the Liukou into the city woke up the residents of the city, in the case of the residents panicked, the Liukou did not rob the poor, but went straight to the richest families in the city to start robbing, and the screams were endless.

Xu Zhiyuan also quickly learned that the city of Lanzhou was broken, and for a while he only felt that the sky was spinning, and the sun and the moon were hanging upside down, but Xu Zhiyuan still had a responsibility, and at this time he wanted to take his sword to kill with the government soldiers, but when he rushed out, the entire prefect's yamen even the old servants who guarded the door ran away, and the entire yamen was empty, leaving only those dilapidated tables, chairs and benches.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyuan's spirit was instantly emptied, and the whole person sat on the chair weakly, looking at the sky with a dull gaze, with the intention of killing the thief, and the powerlessness to return to the sky!

At this time, the back house ran out with his wife who had been with him for half his life, and when he saw the husband sitting on the steps of the prefect's yamen with a sword, he was stunned, and hurriedly ran over and said, "Husband, where are the soldiers?" ”

Xu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Run, run, as soon as the thieves enter the city, they will run away." ”

When his wife heard this, she was shocked and said, "Ah, isn't there no one in the whole mansion to protect the master, master, let's run away." ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyuan said with a mocking face: "Run, although the world is big, there is a place for me Xu Zhiyuan to stand, besides, I am the prefect of this Lanzhou Mansion, what is it if I run away?" Isn't there even a tomb keeper in the Ming Dynasty, today there is only a martyred prefect, and there are no adults who escaped! ”

Xu Zhiyuan took the sword at this time and said with a sad face: "Madam, run away, I still have five hundred taels of silver there, hidden under our bed, you take this money, quickly escape back to your hometown, help me take care of my mother, raise the child, tell the child to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and it will not be in vain for you and my husband and wife." ”

When his wife heard this, she looked at Xu Zhiyuan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, we are a family, if you die, how can I live alone." ”

Xu Zhiyuan heard this: "I want to be martyred, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the integrity of our scholars, why should you suffer?" ”

When the wife heard this, she said: "The husband is martyred for the country, and the wife is martyred for the husband, and the husband sings and the wife follows, it is the principle of the ages, the husband wants to wipe his neck with a knife, and the wife must also follow the husband. ”

Xu Zhiyuan looked at his wife when he heard this, especially his wife's stubborn expression, and couldn't help sighing: "My wife, why do you bother, you and I are dying here, who will support the old mother in our family, and how should the young son in the family live." ”

Xu Zhiyuan's wife heard this: "Don't worry, husband, I have already thought about it, our family is fourteen years old, and he can be the master of the house. ”

Seeing his wife like this, Xu Zhiyuan sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, you go and arrange for the old servant to escape from here quickly, and then ......"

"After that, I'll come to accompany my husband."

After the wife finished speaking, she ran to the inner house, and soon an old servant dressed up as a common person and hurriedly ran out of the prefect's yamen, while the wife came to the lobby and came to the husband's side, at this time Xu Zhiyuan sat on the prefect's stool, and the sword he carried was placed on the eucalyptus table not far away, as long as the thief broke in, he drew his sword and killed himself, committing suicide and martyrdom.

His wife walked in and looked at Xu Zhiyuan, who patted his wide chair and said, "Sit together." ”

The wife waved her hand and said, "No, husband, how can I sit in peace as a woman above the temple." ”

Xu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "The temple will collapse, why is there so much attention, madam, please sit down." ”

Hearing this, his wife also sighed and sat down, but the stool was so big, although there was more than one person to sit, but the two of them were a little small, Xu Zhiyuan said: "Madame, sit on my lap." ”

The wife was stunned when she heard this, in the lobby of the prefect's mansion, she sat on her husband's lap, isn't this a little too exciting?

However, seeing Xu Zhiyuan's insistence, his wife could only blush and sit on her husband's lap.

Xu Zhiyuan was sat on his lap by his wife, and his heart, which had long been numb, suddenly jumped, and he had a different feeling.

At this time, Xu Zhiyuan knew that he couldn't continue to think nonsense, otherwise this picture of Kang's martyrdom would become weird.

Xu Zhiyuan thought about shifting his gaze and stared outside: "After a while, if a thief breaks in, the husband should take the first step." ”

"Don't worry, husband, I will go with my husband after he leaves."

His wife said with a cold face, Xu Zhiyuan nodded when he heard this: "Okay, okay, in this case, you and I will go to Jiuquan, and the friendship of the whole husband and wife." ”

When his wife heard this, she said, "That's it." ”

So the two of them sat in the prefect's lobby and waited for the thieves to enter.

Two hours later......

The two of them were still sitting in the lobby of the prefect's mansion, and at this time, Xu Zhiyuan looked at the gate of the prefect's mansion and wanted to pass through, why didn't this thief rush in, after delaying for a while, the momentum to commit suicide was gone.

Suicide, the most afraid is to wait, time will make people dispel the idea of suicide, and the longer the time, the more people do not want to die, just like modern insurance, which is about accident insurance for fear of someone committing suicide and cheating insurance, so it is stipulated that this kind of insurance should take effect two years after the purchase of insurance, and with these two years, the person who originally wanted to commit suicide may not commit suicide.

And now Xu Zhiyuan has this feeling, these two hours have given him a good time, living like a year, the original kind of blood is surging, ready to show the mood of the Ming scholar in front of the thief, at this time is gradually changing, and the desire to commit suicide is getting lower and lower, lower and lower.

"Uh-a-cough...... Madame. ”

Xu Zhiyuan coughed lightly at this time and called out to Mrs., and then Mrs. Xu was stunned and said to Xu Zhiyuan: "What's the matter with the husband?" ”

Xu Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Ahem...... You get up, my legs are numb. ”

Madame suddenly: "Ah, husband, I will help you." ”

Xu Zhiyuan got up and moved his legs that were numb from sitting down, and secretly wondered in his heart, there was a constant shouting of killing outside, but why didn't anyone rush into the mansion, he was ready to commit suicide for a long time, but there was no audience, how could you let yourself commit suicide, die in vain!

Xu Zhiyuan moved his feet on the ground, wondering in his heart, just like this, he waited for two more hours, and it was getting a little dark outside, and Xu Zhiyuan's stomach gurgled.

Seeing this, the lady on the side said, "Husband, why don't I stir-fry two dishes for you, and let's eat something?" ”

Xu Zhiyuan looked at his wife, then looked outside, stomped his feet and said: "These damn thieves, why don't you come to arrest the official, and I can't eat it, madam, if I am eating and the thief comes, I will wipe my neck again, will it look very unheroic?" ”

Mrs. Hearing this, her expression was very intriguing: "Husband, just do what you say." ”

Xu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Well, what Madame said is very true, wait a minute." ”

Another hour passed.

Gollum......

Xu Zhiyuan's stomach was already bulging, and at this time, Xu Zhiyuan stomped his feet and scolded the street, why didn't this group of bastard thieves rush in, do they know that this official is here?

Xu Zhiyuan wanted to rush out to have a look, but when he thought about the chaos outside, he died outside, and no one knew who he was, so he was still guarding the mansion, and when people rushed in, he could wipe his neck more to show his literati style.

Gollum......

But Xu Zhiyuan's stomach can't scream, he woke up early this morning, drank a bowl of millet porridge, and then tossed until now, this physical strength obviously can't keep up.

Xu Zhiyuan's stomach was purring, and his wife's stomach on the side was also bulging, and his wife said, "Husband, do you want to make something to eat?" I'm so hungry. ”

Xu Zhiyuan said: "Don't eat." ”

When his wife heard this, she said, "That's it, my husband won't eat, I'll go to make something to eat first, and I can't be a starving ghost if I am a ghost!" ”

Saying that his wife ran to the back hall, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help but say: "That, bring me something to eat too, these thieves are hateful, they want to use this trick to deal with the old man, the old man will not give in, never!" ”

Xu Zhiyuan roared angrily, his wife arrived in the back kitchen, and soon the two bowls of hand-rolled noodles were ready, and Xu Zhiyuan's bowl also had an egg lying on it.

When he was full, Xu Zhiyuan continued to sit on the chair, he estimated that it would be dark for a while, and the thieves should break in.

His wife was full, packed up the dishes, and came over to accompany Xu Zhiyuan, and the two of them sat on the chair in the public hall in the dark again.

Two more hours.

It's already early in the morning, the door of the hall is open, the wind is blowing through the hall, the whole lobby is very cold, at this time the husband and wife sitting can't help but hug each other, Xu Zhiyuan is so cold at this time that he shivered: "This group of thieves is hateful, if they don't come to see me, they want me to give in, it is impossible, and I will never stop with this group of thieves today." ”

At this time, his wife was hugged by Xu Zhiyuan and said: "Xianggong, why don't we go back to the back hall and get the bed quilt, this can freeze us to death in the middle of the night, freezing to death is not considered martyrdom, right?" ”

Xu Zhiyuan trembled when he heard this: "What Madam said is that this group of thieves is nowhere to be found, they must want to torture me like this, I must not do what he wants, Madame go to the back hall to get the quilt." ”

The quilt was taken, and the two of them sat on the chair at this time, hugged each other, wrapped in a layer of quilt outside, and waited like this, and after another hour, the two of them couldn't hold on.

The two eyelids began to go on frequent dates and wanted to be together.

His wife was the first to fall asleep, and Xu Zhiyuan was already dozing at this time, and then he scolded in his mouth: "Thief, don't want me to give in...... Whew......huhu"

Soon both of them fell asleep, and they didn't know how long they had been asleep, but they only heard someone chattering in their ears, which woke them up, and then Xu Zhiyuan woke up when he opened his eyes, and saw three people in ordinary people's clothes sitting in the middle of the public hall and sleeping together Xu Zhiyuan and his wife pointed and pointed.

"Hey, you see this is our prefect."

"Yes, yes, that's him."

"Hey, that's his wife?"

"Yes, yes, it's the prefect's wife, I've seen it once."

"And what are they doing here?"

"Then who knows? Maybe I was too crazy last night and felt that the bed in the back hall was boring, so I came to the lobby of the government office......"

"I'm going, is it so exciting? It's still a place where Lord Fuzun can play! ”

……

A group of people were chattering, chattering, and Xu Zhiyuan heard what they said, and Mrs. was even more blushing when she heard it, what did they bastards say, what do you mean by being in the lobby, oops......

Mrs. now wants to find a crack in the ground to get into, but Xu Zhiyuan doesn't care about hugging Mrs. tighter at this time, he was aggrieved enough yesterday, not even a person, today I finally saw someone, it's okay, it's time to be martyred, since I want to die, it's good for husband and wife to die together.

Thinking that Xu Zhiyuan touched the sword in his hand, he looked at the three people in front of him: "You are a thief, is it your king who wants you to arrest me?" I tell you, the Ming Dynasty only has a martyred prefect, not a ......."

"Wait......"

Before Xu Zhiyuan could finish speaking, the three of them interjected: "Lord Prefect, how can you be innocent out of thin air, we are all carpenters in Lanzhou City, not some kind of thief, what are you doing with our hats?" We're just here to make some furniture, and we don't offend adults, right? ”

"Wood, carpenter?"

Xu Zhiyuan was stunned, and then he said: "Yes, we are all carpenters, I don't believe you ask Madame, the pear wood cabinet in your house was still from me to Madame, Madame forgot?" ”

Madam was stunned when she heard this, then looked at this person and frowned and said, "Zhang Laosan from Ma Street? ”

"But isn't it me, madam, fortunately you still remember me, you can tell the adults quickly, we are all carpenters who do our duty, but we are not thieves!"

Xu Zhiyuan looked at his wife with a confused expression, and his wife nodded and said: "Zhang Laosan of Majie, the most famous carpenter master in Lanzhou City, he made a lot of furniture in our back house. ”

Xu Zhiyuan looked sad when he heard this, no, can Lao Tzu still be martyred, why is it so difficult to martyr a country?

Xu Zhiyuan mentally built up for a long time and said: "Since you are not thieves, what are you doing in the government?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Laosan said: "Oh, someone paid us to come to the prefect's yamen to help the prefect's yamen make a new set of furniture, okay, my lord, if you finish asking, can you trouble you to get up, we want to measure the size of the chair under your buttocks, and we can go back to the next ruler to start construction." ”

Xu Zhiyuan got up Mu Ran when he heard this, a few people came over, measured the wood, Xu Zhiyuan thought to himself, it should be the new king who is ready to occupy the mansion, then it's okay, since he wants to come to occupy, he will meet sooner or later, as long as he meets, he can commit suicide and martyrdom!

Thinking about Xu Zhiyuan, I was looking forward to it, looking forward to it until noon, and there was no one in sight, at this moment, a person came in outside, Xu Zhiyuan was excited, is it a thief, is it a thief, Lao Tzu is going to wipe his neck!

As a result, someone came in: "Fuzun, I am from Piaoxianglou, someone ordered a meal for you and brought it to you." ”

Xu Zhiyuan was about to cry when he heard this, the thieves of the Malegobi, can you come, Lao Tzu is going to be martyred!
